ANCYL: Statement by Floyd Shivambu, African National Congress Youth League spokesperson, on the ANC Communication of Julius Malema’s Disciplinary hearing (03/05/2010)
The African National Congress Youth League is shocked by ANC Statement issued by Spokesperson Jackson Mthembu saying that the Disciplinary Hearing "sat today the 3rd of May 2010 and that ANC Treasurer General Matthews Phosa is a representative of cde Julius Malema on his hearing".
The Youth League is shocked because the statement issued by the Officials of the ANC on the 20th of April 2010 unequivocally said, "*IN THIS REGARD, WE WOULD LIKE TO RESTATE THAT ISSUES OF DISCIPLINE IN THE ANC BELONGS TO THE STRUCTURES OF THE ANC AND ARE THEREFORE NOT MATTERS OF THE PUBLIC OR THE MEDIA. ANC OFFICIALS WILL DISCUSS ISSUES OF DISCIPLINE OF ALL MEMBERS INTERNALLY AND WILL NOT ENGAGE ON INTERNAL MATTERS WITH THE MEDIA*". The statement of ANC officials is still appearing on the opening page of the ANC website and would not be difficult to notice.
It is quite apparent that there is a certain level of inconsistency and non-compliance with ANC officials' directives and statements. The ANC Youth League will in this regard urgently contact the leadership of the ANC to understand the reasons why the ANC Spokesperson is defying the directive of ANC Officials. The ANC YL will never be dragged into discussing internal ANC process with the media as we respect decisions of the ANC.
